Sandra Tavares and Jorge Serôdio Borges, are a couple of Winemakers who inaugurates their first Wine tourism offer in Vale de Mendiz in the Douro valley. It's called Wine & Soul and it’s installed in a building that used to be a winery, in the Centre of this typical Douro village. In spite of the fact that it was totally recovered, it still keeps the typical layout of the region. Apart from the investment in the offices, basements and cellar restructuring, which already existed, Wine & Soul recovered a contiguous building, to welcome visitors and provide various experiences and leisure areas. Well-equipped rooms, a terrace with beautiful views to the Pinhão Valley, a wine shop, door sales, and a diverse routing with a guided tour of the facilities are some of the services/experiences that visitors can enjoy. They are also given the possibility to select a glass of wine, or a guided wine tasting, that vary between €30 and €150 and feature iconic wines such as Pintas, Guru, Pintas Character, Pintas Porto Vintage or Quinta da Manoella Vinhas Velhas. Located in such a distinguished niche destination like Douro, Wine & Soul combines a contemporary vision of tourism in Douro, as a local economy enhancer, stating a strong identity and authenticity of the territory, with an undeniable and already widely recognized quality of its unique wines.
